CRT off(Old TV Style) Animation for any smartphones including Xperia Neo V

It's quite interesting to know that a good amount of smartphone lovers are searching for methods to enable the old CRT off Animation(Old TV Style) to their smartphones. When I went through the steps how to enable the screen lock, it needs APK manager to edit the system file, framework-res.apk. After a Nandroid backup I tried to decompile the framework-res.apk file but value was already set as 'false'. So an alternative for it should be an application which will give you the same animation while screenoff. You can download the application from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en No need...

Bootloader Unlocking via the Easiest Way ! ! !

Ok viewers i have come across many people who want to unlock their bootloader but find it very difficult to do it. There are 2 ways in which a user can unlock bootloader : 1. Unofficial way :- This requires using of a wire and a pin to unlock bootloader using testpoint method. This method preserves the DRM files, but a slip of hand can cause the phone to brick(not able to boot). That is why I dont recommend that. 2.Official way:- Official way is easy, you have to do some manual work which requires using cmd(command prompt) etc. However you lose your DRM files in this method and you cannot update your cell OTA(over the air) or via PCC. I...

Exdialer a good alternative for dialer app in stock ICS

Sony has succeded in rolling out a new version with almost all the bugs fixed. However, the stock dialer app is still not perfect. Even after the update to 4.0.4, it takes 5-6 seconds after the usage of other apps. I did a small research on it. I tried to open the dialer and it took 5-6 seconds to show dialer and call history. When dialer and call history showed up, I closed it suddenly and again I opened it from the icon. It showed up instantly. That means dialer is still not the best. First time loading takes more time.              So a good alternative for Sony dialer is 'Exdialer...
